بدأ التاريخ الجيولوجي للأرض منذ 4.567 بليون سنة [1] عندما تشكلت كواكب المجموعة الشمسية من السديم الشمسي، حيث شكلت مخلفات الشمس كتلة من الغبار والغازات. في البداية كانت الأرض عبارة عن كتلة منصهرة ثم بدأت القشرة الخارجية تبرد، عندما بدأت المياه تتجمع في الغلاف الجوي. وتشكل القمر بعد ذلك ، ربما كنتيجة لوجود فرق بين كتلة المريخ والأرض بحوالي 10%،[2]

التاريخ الجيولوجي للأرض follows the major geological events in Earth's past based on the geological time scale, a system of chronological measurement based on the study of the planet's rock layers (stratigraphy). Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, which also created the rest of the Solar System.

Initially, the Earth was molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as a result of the impact of a planetoid with the Earth. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans. However, in 2020, researchers reported that sufficient water to fill the oceans may have always been on the Earth since the beginning of the planet's formation.[3][4][5]

As the surface continually reshaped itself over hundreds of millions of years, continents formed and broke apart. They migrated across the surface, occasionally combining to form a supercontinent. Roughly 750 مليون سنة مضت, the earliest-known supercontinent Rodinia, began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia, 600 to 540 مليون سنة مضت, then finally Pangaea, which broke apart 200 مليون سنة مضت.

The present pattern of ice ages began about 40 مليون سنة مضت, then intensified at the end of the Pliocene. The polar regions have since undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thawing, repeating every 40,000–100,000 years. The last glacial period of the current ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.

ما قبل الكمبري

يتضمن العصر قبل الكمبري حوالي 90% من الزمن الجيولوجي. ويمتد ذلك العصر لفترة 4.6 بليون سنة مضت حتى بداية العصر الكمبري (حوالي 570 عام). The Precambrian includes approximately 90% of geologic time. It extends from 4.6 billion years ago to the beginning of the Cambrian Period (about 539 Ma). It includes the first three of the four eons of Earth's prehistory (the Hadean, Archean and Proterozoic) and precedes the Phanerozoic eon.[7]

Major volcanic events altering the Earth's environment and causing extinctions may have occurred 10 times in the past 3 billion years.[8]

Artist's conception of a protoplanetary disc

During Hadean time (4.6–4 Ga), the Solar System was forming, probably within a large cloud of gas and dust around the sun, called an accretion disc from which Earth formed 4٬500 مليون سنة مضت.[1] The Hadean Eon is not formally recognized, but it essentially marks the era before we have adequate record of significant solid rocks. The oldest dated zircons date from about 4٬400 مليون سنة مضت.[9][10][11]

Artist's impression of a Hadean landscape and the Moon looming large in the sky, both bodies still under extreme volcanism.

Earth was initially molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as a result of the impact of a large planetoid with the Earth.[12][13] More recent potassium isotopic studies suggest that the Moon was formed by a smaller, high-energy, high-angular-momentum giant impact cleaving off a significant portion of the Earth.[14] Some of this object's mass merged with the Earth, significantly altering its internal composition, and a portion was ejected into space. Some of the material survived to form an orbiting moon. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans.[15] However, in 2020, researchers reported that sufficient water to fill the oceans may have always been on the Earth since the beginning of the planet's formation.[3][4][5]

During the Hadean the Late Heavy Bombardment occurred (approximately 4٬100 to 3٬800 مليون سنة مضت) during which a large number of impact craters are believed to have formed on the Moon, and by inference on Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars as well. However, some scientists argue against this hypothetical Late Heavy Bombardment, pointing that the this conclusion has been drawn from data which are not fully representative (only a few crater hotspots on the Moon have been analyzed).[16][17]
